BYU Basketball Recruiting Notebook: Catching Up with Kanon Catchings and Keylan Boone

The BYU Cougars basketball team is making moves in the recruiting scene, and we’ve got the latest updates for you. In this notebook, we’ll dive into the latest on Kanon Catchings, a top 40 recruit in the 2024 class, and Keylan Boone, a talented forward entering the transfer portal.

Kanon Catchings: A Top Target for the Cougars

Kanon Catchings, a 6-foot-9 forward, recently visited BYU and is considering the Cougars as a top option. With his ability to space the floor and create his own shot, Catchings would be a valuable addition to the team. Sources close to the program indicate that the visit went well, and BYU is a real contender for his commitment.

“I would expect a decision to come within a week,” a source told us.

Keylan Boone: A Stretch Four with a Proven Track Record

Meanwhile, Keylan Boone, a 6-foot-8 forward, is entering the transfer portal and could be a great fit for BYU. Boone is a stretch four with a proven track record, averaging 13 points, 7 rebounds, and making over 50 threes last season at UNLV. He’s a player who could make an immediate impact for the Cougars.

While both players would be great additions to the team, it’s unlikely that BYU would add both Catchings and Boone. The Cougars are further along in the recruiting process with Catchings, but Boone is a player to watch, especially given his fit as a stretch four.
